[ Not everyone here is Clarisse's level of genius. ]
Ser Benedict - do I call you that? Is that the proper term? [ Please let it not be one of those cultures where first name and clan name go together, because woof - a mouthfull. ]
It is Hermione, yes. [ There you go, a pronounciation guide for you. ]
You'd probably want to stick with Messere if you want the honorific [and because he is a mess,]-- Ser by itself is usually reserved for Knights. Which... [wryly,] I am not.
Oh, indeed. There's definitely a lack of deep cut cleavages in Thedas that messere Versace would've fixed right up.
[ Lucky Benedict that Hermione doesn't recall that Gianni Versace died in 1997 - one year prior to when she's from. She was busy not getting murdered at the time. ]
I doubt anyone would mind if you tag along with them through the Eluvians-- we're in the process of setting up safehouses throughout Thedas, which could be a great opportunity for you to learn about different key locales.
[ Do raised-eyebrows count as a vivid enough expression that it manifests itself in the tone of her voice? ] Quick travel mirrors. [ So, a Portkey. Apparition without needing to know the destination perfectly. She nods, mostly to herself. ]
And the Crossroads are what stabilises them? As in, does every Eluvian road lead to the Crossroads, or ...
[ Hold on, nerdy brain caught up with mouth. ] Oh, yes, I'd love to see them.

By the sound of it, you're settling in all right, or able to do so. What sort of world are you from, if you don't mind my asking?
no subject
A world where magic and dragons exist, but also trains and jeans and a television.
no subject
Some of us visited one like that, some time back. It's not so rare as you might think, although I don't recall that there were dragons.
[a loaded, hesitant pause, then:]
...does your world have Versace?
no subject
Yes - though high fashion is not my cup of tea.
no subject
If only I could have brought it with me.

And then I'd get to wear it again, of course.
[this is, by the sound of it, the great tragedy of Benedict's life]

[not that cleavage is much of a concern to him, but,]
Or Minrathous. Or... well. Anywhere that fancy women wear things. Or I suppose don't wear them, in this case.

Pardon for enquiring, but what are Eluvians?
no subject
[uhh]
Ancient Elven mirrors used for quick travel from one location to another, via the Crossroads.
Which is...
...maybe I should just show you.
